## Create an API key

Generate a scoped key from your dashboard. Keys work with the v1 review and image editing endpoints.

## Connect OpenClaw or your agent

Use the API directly, or install the OpenClaw skill package from the dashboard integration page.

## Keep restaurant data controlled

Use idempotency keys for repeatable requests and keep credentials outside prompts or public repos.

## Two endpoints cover the common workflow

Use review first to understand quality issues, then call the image editing endpoint with a specific instruction, preset, angle, or dish name.

- **POST /api/v1/review:** score and diagnose a menu photo.
- **POST /api/v1/enhance:** create an edited version from a prompt or preset.
- **Authorization:** send `Bearer mc_...` with each request.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://www.menucapture.com/api/v1/enhance" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mc_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: menu-photo-001" \
  -d '{
    "image": "data:image/jpeg;base64,...",
    "dishName": "Spicy ramen",
    "customInstructions": "Warm the lighting and clean the table background",
    "preset": "menu-ready",
    "angle": "45-degree"
  }'
```
